I Think I'll Hide My True Ability to the Last Moment

Episode 11

Go home.

"Excuse me!

I greeted Dandy's uncle so vigorously that I opened this room.

"Wait."

Luna grabbed my arm and sighed quietly. [M]

... no, I'm the one who wants to sigh.

The day after I became Luna's knight, Luna Flame suddenly abducted me when someone wanted me to meet her.

And it was here, in the Duke of Flame's mansion, that I was forced to come.

"Father, aren't we talking differently?

What are you talking about?

Heavy air floats in a calm and interesting space.

"Father told me to put the knight aside.I went out of my way to talk to the school.As a result, I decided to put the knight aside, even if I didn't want to.And this man is my knight.Isn't that what your father wanted?

Luna narrowed her purple eyes and stared at Dandy's uncle and father.

"Sure... I thought it would be okay for anyone at this time, so I adjusted the number of students so that I couldn't spare them.But that's because nobody wants to put you next to me.... "

Luna's father, Argos Flame, raised his elbows to his desk and closed his eyes quietly while putting his hands together.

Well, there's nothing wrong...

"It's huge. I'm not talking about the incompetence that followed me, even though I was misguided!

Luna's father opened his closed eyes and pointed a sharp eye at me

That's Luna's father.Its power is comparable to that of her sister-in-law when she draws her sword.

But of course, the Lonely Moon didn't lose either.

"That's too selfish.And my father's incompetence saved my life.I mean, this Yuno Astario saved my life.How about a duke who despises it as incompetent?

Luna said so, and your father sighed deeply.

"The three men of the Astario family there saved Luna's life...?Fufu, don't bullshit me.Isn't it true that Yuno's man can barely handle magic without a sword?What does a man like that do to save your life?

Luna's father looked at me again with a sharp eye. [M]

"You seem to have managed to get into my daughter, but I can't accept you as a knight.Get out of this mansion now. "

When I nod with a smile, I won't be able to stay behind. [M]I knew it.

Luna looked at me more than you did.

"--So, if this Yuno is strong, there is no problem?

"... of course."

"This Yuno has signed a contract with God Athena and acquired the skills of Spear Magic.As a result, I gave my classmates a blood festival in a mock game at school. "

... I didn't give it to you.

"Hmm, what do students know about each other?And God Athena?Is that about God who was despised as incompetent in that school?In other words, there is no future for a lying man.It's packed.It's insane to make a deal with a nameless god!

That's how Luna's father slapped her on the desk.

Seems pretty angry... but I felt more angry than that.

At the same time, I think so.I'm glad I didn't bring God here.

I move quietly towards Luna's father. [M]

Don't let it get rough!I didn't say that.I have that kind of calm together.

But what I say doesn't change after all. [M]

"Argos-sama, please listen.I am a young man, but I am confident only in my spear arms.Could you please make a deal with me?

To put it this way, I want to have a good time, so it's a fight, a fight, a fight.

Make amends for the sin of fooling my God!

"Fufu...."

Then you hear Luna laughing from behind.

"Good idea, Yuno?That's all right. I'll give you permission.- Kill him. "

... is it my fault?I feel that the nuances of the words are different.

"He listens to me licking my mouth.Very well. I'll make it up to you.But your opponent will be the weakest of my servants. "

The weakest Servant... that means I won't beat that Servant.

"The weakest squire?Father, who the hell is that?

"... you'll see soon enough.Follow me. "

After Luna's father left the room saying that, I left the room.

"... just in case, I won't let you go."

That's how Luna strolls her silver hair in line with me. [M]

... Luna, you're a really careless woman.

Perhaps I have no doubt about one of my abilities. [M]

I don't know if it's natural or just smart, but I can promise Luna this.

"Of course. I will definitely win."

Yes, that's a decision for me now.

Then I arrived at the garden of the vast grounds.

On a uniform length of lawn covering one side, I am waiting for my opponent to appear.

"Use whatever you like."

Luna's father said so, and two beautiful maids bring some spears.

When I get the oldest spear of all, I just wait quietly for that time. [M]

And...

A man appeared as he stepped on the dry lawn.

"... I see. It's interesting."

Luna smiles happily when she says so.

A well-organized, gray-haired hair.Wearing a black, unified butler uniform.

The Servant seems to be the butler.

Looks like I've kept you waiting.

An elderly man with a gentle smile takes off his white gloves and stares straight at me. [M]

"When I heard that Miss Luna had chosen a knight for herself, I was very pleased to finally be able to trust her.Is that what you are?

I don't know what to say. I nod small for now.

Really? My name is Claude the Duke of Flame, and I will be your opponent.I'll see you later. "

That's how you politely bow your head, butler Claude.

I was walking across my shoulder as far as I could. [M]

"Claude, you don't need to introduce yourself.Because this man will never come to my house again. "

Luna's father looked at me with an unchanging look when he snorted at me.

"It's Yuno Astario. If you lose when you're a butler, your daughter won't be a knight."

"... I'll do my best."

When I say so, I hold my spear for a moment and wait for the start signal.

Whether it's the butler or not, it doesn't change what I do. [M]

Losing here would stop Luna's knights, but we couldn't let God call us incompetent.

"Yuno? I think you understand, but do it seriously.The Duke's butler, though.I will not allow you, my knight, to lose. "

"... I know."

... hmm? Are you worried about me?For some reason, I don't have anything strange about Luna's words. [M]

But apparently we don't have much time to think about it.

Claude looks to Luna's father.

"Are you sure?

"Come on, do your best."

"... I understand."

Claude grabbed with his right hand the handle of the sword that was hanging on his waist.

"Now, give me a signal."

When Claude quietly says so, Luna's father plays silver coins with his fingers.

A tiny metallic noise called Chin- caused the coins to dance through the sky.

Now, how can I cook for you?

Of course I don't mean it.I had no intention of playing a good game.

"Just one piece of advice."

Claude then lowers his position to squeeze his body with his left hand against the sheath of the sword and grips the handle of the sword with his right hand.

"If you despise me for being just an old man..."

The coin slowly fell to the ground.

In a moment, Claude's figure disappears, leaving behind an image.

"Know it's a mistake."

....... eh.

When I twist my body instantly, I avoid a thick knife shaken from behind with a single sheet of paper. [M]

"... heh?

Luna smiled happily.

"Bye, stupid!

The shocking Duke is in charge.

"Bye, stupid!

And me.
